Arial font rendering problem in Label control AIR

Hi,
I have a label in my application which is rendered with font-family Arial. The letters are not getting viewed properly.Some letters are cutted especially "W". I have attached a screen shot of it. Is it a bug in Adob Air.You can notice that letter "W" is cutted. Is it possible to fix it or not.Please help me.
Regards,
Jayagopal.

One thing to add for clarification, the problem I described is the application display problem and NOT the screen capture problem.

Arial font rendering problem in AIR

Hi,
I am new to flex. I have a problem in rendering arial font in Label in AIR application.
I have attached the screen shot.The letter W has been cutted.

OK, I eventualy discover that Java uses its own font configuration, and look for the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/TTF. As I use Bohoomil bundle fonts, which does not install fonts in this directory, Java wasn't finding the right fonts.
Copying the DejaVu family in /usr/share/fonts/TTF solved the problem.

Flex 4.5/FP10.2 web app: Font rendering problem

Heya,
Upped a web app from Flex 4.0/4.1 to Flex 4.5 & fonts started to render really badly (blurry & 'stronger').
They are embedded as CFF, no errors or warnings gives. Also upgraded to Flash Player 10.2, which apparently has 'enhanched' font rendering.
Haven't set applicationDPI on the s:Application tag, so DPI management should be disabled according to the docs.
(See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l)
It's straight up @font-face embeds in a CSS file, nothing odd or wrong there.
Is the case that this is how it's supposed to look now? In that case, how do I revert back to sane rendering?
Do I need to configure 4.5 somehow to get it to do fonts right?

Also tested Franklin Gothic, same deal. Tested on Mac (10.2) & PC (10.2 & 10.3). Flex 4.5 for both platforms.
fonts.css:
@font-face
src: url("fonts/arial.ttf");

Mac os x font rendering problems 1680x1050 LCD

Hello,
I recently bought a Mac Mini and love it except I cannot tune the font rendering using command line "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1" and using 0,1,2,3 to try out, restarting apps after each change. It seems that "1" is the best setting for my ASUS VW224U widescreen lcd display. The fonts are blurry. Is it that Mac OS X cannot work well with this 1680x1050 display resolution? Anyone have good font display at this resolution?
TIA

I have the same problem.
Changed my mac mini core 2 duo with snow leopard for a new mac mini core i5, radeon graphic card and, of course, Lion 10.6.1.
I kept the same screen a dell U2410 connected on display port.
The immediate result was absolutely awful.
I had to change settings on my display :
1 - the shaprness setting from 50 to 0 (on a scale from 0 to 100)
2 - the color temperature, called preset mode, from Adobe RVB to standard
Otherwise, the fonts were rendered :
1 - very harsh
2 - with very visible subpixels to anti-alias
But even with this new settings, the result is far from being good as it was just before...
I have tried to change font smoothing parameters as you describe in your post but, if i see differences between 1 2 and 3, i found none optimal ... (and kept 2)
I'm going mad !
It could be better with a calibration of the screen (it seems everything is washed out...) but my colorimeter is not compatible with Lion ...

Font rendering problem... (FLash BUG)

Hi all, I have Flash instaled on two machines and both of them are having a problem when rendring flash text.
All text on flash appears like the image bellow. And When I export to SWF the text stays the same.
The font I'm using is Myriad Pro
I'm running Flash on iMac i3 3.06 with 4Gb and 256 Graphics display so that can't be the problem.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks for the attention.

Hi,
i know this problem. It exists since the last os-x update.
Until now there ist no solution - only two workarounds.
a) reinstall osx and update only to an older version
b) sometimes it helps me to close flash, restart flash and publish again.
It seems only OTF Fonts make Problems. I know about problems with MyriadPro and DIN.
There is also a problem creating PDF Files with the OS-X internal "Print as PDF" function.
I hope there will be an update soon....

Diagnosing Arabic font rendering problem

I have an application that is localized into Arabic. On three machines I have access to to test on (Windows Vista, OS X, and Fedora 9), when the locale is set to Arabic, the UI is rendered correctly - menus, buttons, etc. all have their text rendered in Arabic and look fine.
The person that translated the text into Arabic, however, doesn't have the same results. He's running Linux (can't remember what flavor) and when he runs the application, the Arabic text all comes out as boxes. He says this is the case for any LookandFeel he tries (Metal that hideous GTK, Nimbus).
Since I can verify that the application does look okay on some machines, I feel comfortable in thinking that it's an issue on his specific machine. My question is - how can we diagnose what the problem actually is?
His machine's default locale is Arabic, and other (non-Java) applications render Arabic text fine.
He's using Sun Java 1.6 (not sure what minor release though), not GNU Java.
(Possibly?) relevant info:
I noticed that several UI keys such as "Menu.font" and "Button.font" are using a Deja Vu font on my Vista system when rendering Arabic. He says his system does have Deja Vu fonts installed, but when he's getting his boxes displayed, it seems these properties are set to some other Bitstream Vera font.

Sorry, I haven't a clue regarding a possible solution, but I thought I'd share this:

The DejaVu fonts are a font family based on the Bitstream Vera Fonts

Java fonts rendering problem

Hi all,
I've used JEditorPane to render an html page.
My problem is that the way to interpreter fonts seems different from Java to the operating system font, also if I have the same font installed (for example Arial TT unicode).
For example, I have an html page that misure 100 pixel with Explorer or similar; if I render it in Java, GetPreferredSize return me a value like 130, also if I've installed the same font and I have fixed the style of the page with css.
In this a bug?
--Carlo

Have you used getInstalledFonts to see if the font is actually available to java?
Not all fonts on the system can be used (especially under Unix/Linux). In which case Java would use a different font as a substitute.

Chinese font rendering problem

Firstly.. I have installed ttf-arphic-uming, ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-fireflysung. Idon't really understand why most of characters have rendered except for that one. This happens very sporadically (but always the same ones).
I do not have a clue why this is miscoloured like that.. I think this only occurs with chinese.
Any help is appreciated.

It's subpixeling. Maybe you specified the setting for this font somewhere?

Not-latin font rendering is broken in Kf5 applications

Hello.
After upgrading of KDE4 applications to Kf5 ones, I have the font rendering problem in them.
It's looks like that:
As you can see, rendering of cyrillic fonts is broken. Absolutely wrong font family (should be Terminus) and font size.
In KDE4 apps font rendering works correctly.
Do someone have any suggestions how can I fix this?

I can see picture without any problems. May be it is regional-specific problem of image hosting.

[SOLVED] Bad font rendering after last update (pango issue?)

I am getting very strange font rendering problem. Look at the screen below. It only affects gtk windows (as you can see below HTML text is currently displayed, but url bar and context menu is not). I belive it appeared after upgrading pango package to 1.32, but downgrading it as instructed here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151886), didn't help. Does anybody know what can it be? Any hints where to look for the solution?

[SOLVED] Bad font rendering and overlapping since last update

Hi all! Since the last updates I'm getting font rendering problems. I'm seeing something like this in lots of applications:
See the "ce" in Facebook, those letters are kinda overlapped! This happens in Nautilus too, for example in the word "devel". I'm using the Ubuntu patches for font rendering, but actually I have problems even with the stock packages.
I'm on a fresh install right now (I really needed to clean the old one, too much experimenting xD) and I keep having this problem.
Can anyone help me?
SOLVED I downgraded pango from 1.32.1-1 to 1.30.1-1 and everything went back to normality

When I resize the font for the Page Labels on the tab control in LabVIEW 7, the Increment/Decrement size gets messed up. Is there a solution to this problem or is this a bug?

I have noticed in LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 that when the text in the page labels display is enlarged, that the arrows enlarge but the top arrow enlarges more then the small arrow but then when you decrease the text size, the arrows stay remain large. This is not a problem in 6.1 because the arrows aren't available. Is there a work around for this bug or do I have to use small text for these page label arrows to look right?

I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

Preview : problem with PDF and Arial font

I receive PDF files from my telco; the PDF use the Arial font, which they embed in the PDF. Not an ideal choice, but I can't change this.
Problem : when I display the file in Preview (OS X 10.5.6), large parts of the text do not appear. The file can correctly be displayed with Adobe Reader on the same Mac, on other machines (Windows PC with various PDF viewers) or in GMail. The issue really seems to be related to the "Preview" application.
Any idea on what causes this? Are there limitations on the PDF files that Preview can display ?

Not necessarily! Because there are many places fonts can reside in Leopard, multiple versions of the same named font may be present. This is especially true for fonts that may come with multiple software installs like Arial (commonly installed by Microsoft Office). The system may not always choose the most recent font. It is a simple matter to check in Font Book for conflicts.

Embedded font not working in Spark Label control?

Hi,
I'm trying to use embedded fonts with the Spark Label (formerly SimpleText) control. I'm using SDK 4 build 10485 now, but I could not manage it in Beta 1 neither.
I'v been playing with cff: true/false, embedAsCFF:true/false but no results.
I've added my test application where it does work with the Halo <mx:Label> control, but not with the Spark <s:Label> control.
So, no compiler errors, but the Spark label control shows a serif (Helvetia?) font where it should be sans as does the Halo control.
Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks

I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way
